and Miracles Ministries.

THE PRIEST WITH
DIRTY GARMENT

The
message for today this addresses some strange but true realities. It
is possible for a man to be working very hard for God and heaven
does not recognizes this works; possible for people to see you as honesty,
kind and righteous person without blemish but God sees the opposite; possible
to be performing miracles when the lord is no longer happy with you; it is
possible for person to be worker in the vineyard, a prayer warrior, leader,
preacher, pastor or even a general overseer and minister powerfully but the
lord has departed from you. It is possible for you to bee endowed with the power
of God and still has unending problems bombarding your life. The reason for
this might be; Your Garment!!!

The Priest with Dirty Garment

"And he shewed
me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan
standing at his right hand to resist him. And the Lord said unto Satan, The
Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke
thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? Now Joshua was clothed with filthy
garments, and stood before the angel. And he answered and spake unto
those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold,
I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment." {Zech.
3:1-4}

Here is a
highly referenced man Joshua;

vHe was a high priest but still, Satan stood there to challenge
him.

vJoshua was in the presence of the lord yet Satan was there to
resist him, the priest of the most high God.

There was a reason why this was possible: Joshua was putting on a
filthy garment.

The Bible
said in 1st Peter 2:9, we the children of God are Peculiar people and a royal priesthood.
This means that this message of today its applicable to you and I; we all as
Christians are priest of the living God.

Joshua
was a big man; the Old Testament
specially gives very high preference to the position of the high priest.

Who is the High
Priest?

üThe high priest its specially ordained by God by himself.

üThe high priest performs the special offerings to the lord.

üThe high priest is empowered to carry all sins of people to the
lord at the holies of holies, to do atonement.

So you will agree that
the position of the high priest is a big one therefore, Joshua the high priest
was a big person.

By virtue
of how big Joshua was, this did not stop the devil from intimidate him. This is
because there was filthiness in the life of Joshua; He was wearing a Garment on
sin.

Garment of Indiscipline

Some people are where they are today because of indiscipline.

They
don't like discipline and when there is No discipline, there is no progress.

It is
known that people rarely do well if there is no pressure

Some do
not read until their exams are close by.

Take this key Lesson;

It is not what you do right that gets you into trouble it is what
you do wrong that causes trouble for you

Many
people do a lot of right things,
such as; go to church, read Bible, being kind, benevolent
and so on.

But same
person do gossips; the Bibles declares that if you are guilty in one, then you are guilty in all.

Even If you are a worker in the church,
bishop, pastor it its possible for you to continue the work of God and you
wearing a filthy garment.

It is very paramount for
you to take a corrective action before it becomes obvious for all people
to see.

When
you're filthy garment is exposed in the public, it now becomes a thing of
shame, all because you did not identify and address it.

Some think they are
clever; you can never be more clever than the devil.

There is
nothing like sudden death, things don't just happening. You don't fall into
Fornication in a day; this is always the seed that you refuse to deal with. It is very important that you make
correction today.

There
is a big deference between how you look and how God sees you.

Joshua
was burning incense with sweet smelling aroma but heaven was perceiving a dirty
angel as a result of the filthiness in his life.

A popular hymn had these lines:

Lay aside that garment
that its stained with sin and be washed in the blood of the lamb.

Dirty
Garment is what brings in opposition. Opposition will hinder your progress in
life.

Samson
had just come out of the harlot house and he still had the power and grace to
fight the philistine.

That
Samson has deviated from God to start visiting harlot does not mean that God
will stop using him automatically.

I decree into your
life;Any garment upon your spirit man
that is attracting opposition, catch fire in the name of Jesus.

Your
garment says a lot about you.

God is
concerned about what you wear inside of you.

Every man
on earth is wearing a garment. God sees us by our spiritual garment. The high
priest ferment is a representation of how you are inside.

There are
different types of garment; they distinguish and identify the kind of person
that you are.

There are
clothes of pride, liberal clothes, seductive
clothes and the likes.

Let it be known that
there are Satanic designers;
the clothes they design have a purpose; they are all for sexual appeals. This
garments exposes the body, seduces people.

Garments such as tight clothes, highly
silted clothes, and cleavage exposing clothes, all communicate a message; there
is a problem in you; that you are spiritually sick.

Although,
people around you may appreciate you; they may qualify your dressing with
several good names, like gorgeous, beautiful but heaven sees the person as
sick.

A queen
can never be arrayed in a clothing of a harlot and be allowed to sit on the
throne vice versa.

Prov 7:10
talks about the Royal apparel.

Until
the satanic garment covering a man is removed, total deliverance is
impossible.

They
invisible garment that man cannot see, God can see, Satan can also see and it
could give the enemy a chance to hinder the progress of man.

Your
Garment is a replica of your character

When the
woman with the issue of blood touched the garment of Jesus, Jesus said; “Who
touched me” Jesus did not say, who touched my garment. The character of Jesus
was in his garment

You need
to ponder on this message; is if possible get the CD and cry to God to take of
your spiritual garment and dry-clean them so that your life may receive divine
transformation and you will be able to possess your possession.
